Set Up for Dipping: Pour the egg mixture into a shallow bowl or pie plate, which makes it easier to dip the croissants. π₯£
-
Dip the Croissants: Take each croissant half and dip it into the egg mixture, turning it once to ensure both sides are evenly coated. Let any excess mixture drip off before cooking. π₯
-
Cook the Croissants: In a large skillet, melt a few tablespoons of the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add as many croissant halves as will fit in the skillet without overcrowding, and fry until they are golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with any remaining croissants, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. π³π₯
-
Serve and Garnish: Once the croissants are beautifully golden and cooked through, transfer them to a serving plate. Dust generously with confectioners’ sugar for a sweet touch. For a vibrant and refreshing garnish, add a slice or two of fresh orange to each plate. π₯π
-
Optional Additions: Serve the croissant French toast with warm maple syrup and a pat of butter, if desired. This is entirely optional as they are delicious even plain. My personal preference is to have them with both syrup and butter, while my mom loves to enjoy them without any extras. π―π½οΈ
